Jiang Yunchuan swung the Heaven Measuring Ruler again, delivering a fierce blow that sent ripples through thousands of miles of space. He opened his divine eyes and scanned his surroundings, yet detected no spatial anomalies.
Hong Kaiyuan came in pursuit as well. The Great Change Array Diagram rapidly expanded, enveloping an area ten thousand miles across.
But then his brows rose. "He got away?"
"It seems so. The Profound Heaven Array Dao certainly lives up to its reputation. I couldn't even detect how he left." The Profound Heaven Ruler dispersed in Jiang Yunchuan's hand, and his expression turned somewhat grim.
He himself commanded the Way of Space, yet someone who commanded the Array Dao had escaped him using the Way of Space. It was a blow to his pride.
Hong Kaiyuan scanned their surroundings too, then glanced at Jiang Yunchuan and said, "That old fellow really does have remarkable life-saving tricks. Don't take it too much to heart, Daoist Friend Jiang. At the god level, he can draw on the power of a Rule Divine Artifact itself. Killing him was never going to be easy.
"He knew he was coming to wage war against our Divine Court, so he must have prepared his escape route long beforehand.
"Besides, that fellow has always been timid. The moment he saw you use the Jun Tian Thunder Talisman, he turned and fled, even detonating every last Profound Heaven Chess Piece he had spent years refining to stop our pursuit."
As he spoke, the phantom of the Great Change Array Diagram slowly dissipated.
"I just find it a pity, that's all." Jiang Yunchuan shook his head and beckoned. The Jun Tian Thunder Talisman floating in midair fell into his hand. Several cracks had already appeared on it, and its divine radiance had dimmed somewhat.
